Color Label Makes A Sustainable Choice With A Fully Refurbished Nilpeter FA-2500

Danish Color Label, owners of no less than 10 Nilpeter presses, has made another sustainable press investment by acquiring a fully refurbished, pre-owned Nilpeter FA-2500. An absolutely beautiful classic, according to Nilpeter’s own Nick Hughes.

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again - for us, Nilpeter is the Mercedes of flexo label printing presses, and we have never considered investing in anything else,” says Erik Grønning, CEO & Owner of Color Label.

Pre-Owned Program
Nilpeter’s Pre-Owned Program is a part of a strategic objective to create sustainable initiatives. Pre-Owned printing presses are often traded in as part of a new purchasing decision. The presses are then fully refurbished to improve the condition and lifetime, providing many years of stabile press performance to a new owner.

The newly refurbished 8-colour UV FA-2500 installed at Color Label is the second of its kind to land on the production floor in Aarhus, Denmark. The press software has been upgraded considerably and all vital mechanical parts and electrical components controlled and/or changed. Cosmetically, all panels and covers have been treated and received a powder coating to factory standards. The result is quite simply an “absolutely beautiful classic,” if you ask Nilpeter Ltd. Managing Director, Nick Hughes.

“With the purchase of our second newly refurbished FA-2500, we now have a total of ten Nilpeter presses on the factory floor, ranging from 10 to 16 inches. And this one looks and feels brand new. They’ve really done an outstanding job on the refurbishment,” Erik Grønning adds.

A Pleasure Working With Color Label
“This is the second press in which we have performed a nut and bolt rebuild for Color Label. It has been a pleasure working with Erik Grønning and Lonnie Melskens, as we have the same expectations when it comes to quality and standards,” says Nick Hughes.

The Sustainable Choice
“The newly refurbished FA-2500 fits right in. We know it’s reliable, and it’s a sustainable choice that allows us to reuse existing tooling, and continue producing green and cost-effective linerless labels. All jobs can be run on all machines, enabling us to always deliver on time, which is in our DNA,” Erik Grønning concludes.
